Applesauce Quick Bread

I found this recipe in one of my children's magazines (recipe by Denise Super-Braith). It is simple and the only thing I changed was the sweetener. I added (half as much) honey instead of sugar. Because I made homemade applesauce this year (might make more), I had some in the freezer to use.

Combine wet and dry ingredients together, mixing well. Bake in a greased and floured bread pan at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool, then slice when ready to serve.

(When I made this the first time, I actually didn't have the cinnamon, so I added the cloves along with some allspice and nutmeg. Still came out great!)

This would probably do great as cupcakes too, just adjust for less time and watch your oven.

I found this recipe simple and yummy to boot. As a substitute i used some strawberry-rhubarb sauce from the freezer. It was a good variation and added a nice color and tang to the flavor. Even the grandma liked it, not knowing it was vegan :) Thanks for the recipe

Happened upon your recipe looking for a use for large quantities of apples off of my apple tree and I love it! I always use sugar when I make applesauce, so I just halved the amount of sugar in the recipe and it turned out great.

Thank you for pointing this out. In response to the previous comment: "FYI: Vegans do not eat honey!!"...

Thank you for your comment. It gives me a chance to reiterate my stance on honey in general. In April 2008, I posted about how I use honey here: http://veganfootprints.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-food-philosophy-part-3a-little-on.html.

For quick reference, I quote a section of the post here:

"With that said, there are a couple of notes that I wish to add so you are “in the know”… I do use honey. Not all vegans do…I do…I use bee “products” like bee pollen, bee propolis, royal jelly, and honey. I don’t think the other bee products will come up in my recipes (if at all), however honey will. People can replace it with another liquid sweetener or replace with a dry sweetener."

Call me "Bee"gan if you must, but just as I have changed some recipes to include honey, you can also change it back to a dry or other liquid sweetener, if you like. As you see, I did leave that part of the recipe and just noted what I used, honey, in parenthesis only.

Thanks for reading! I have found so many things that I can use from non-vegan sites, that I hope you still find what I have here useful as well.
